20) Wojciech Szczesny (Arsenal)
Just sneaking into the top 20, Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is very capable on his day, but needs more consistency to climb this list.
19) Diego Lopez (AC Milan)
An under-rated shot-stopper, Diego Lopez did well at Real Madrid and has continued to perform since joining AC Milan.
18) Pepe Reina (Bayern Munich)
Once one of the best in Europe, Pepe Reina is now a very capable backup keeper for Bayern Munich.
17) Rene Adler (Hamburg)
An impressive Bundesliga shot-stopper, Rene Adler is another under-rated talent in this position.
16) Keylor Navas (Real Madrid)
A fine shot-stopper, Keylor Navas would perhaps be higher on this list if given a chance to play regularly for Real Madrid.

A legend of the game, there’s no doubt Iker Casillas is now past hsi best, but still capable of moments of magic.

An under-rated goalkeeper plying his trade in Ligue 1, the Nigerian international has wowed French fans with his heroics in goal.
12) Samir Handanovic (Inter Milan)
Linked many times with bigger clubs, Samir Handanovic has been superb in Serie A for Inter Milan.
11) Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint-Germain)
Number one for PSG, the Italian shot-stopper is another fine keeper at his best and a big player for his club.
10) Claudio Bravo (Barcelona)
Impressive since joining Barcelona this summer, Claudio Bravo may not be a big name like Victor Valdes, but looks a fine replacement at the Nou Camp.
9) Marc-Andre ter Stegen (Barcelona)
Still not first choice for Barca, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen is one of the best young goalkeeping talents in the world at the moment.
8) Fraser Forster (Southampton)
A real stand-out performer in the Premier League this season, Fraser Forster has been immense for Southampton since joining from Celtic.
7) Hugo Lloris (Tottenham Hotspur)
Another big name in the Premier League, Hugo Lloris continues to show superb form in goal for Tottenham, attracting interest from bigger clubs.

Relegated to backup at Chelsea, Petr Cech would get into most other teams in Europe and remains one of the finest of his generation.

After his starring display against Barcelona, Joe Hart has re-established himself as one of the very best in the world in this position.
4) Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus)
One of the best of all time, Gianluigi Buffon may be heading towards the end of his career but is still up there with the finest keepers in the game.
3) Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea)
A top young talent, Thibaut Courtois has been made Chelsea number one after a superb three-year loan stint at Atletico Madrid.
2) David de Gea (Manchester United)
A goalkeeper who has been out of this world at times this season, David de Gea of Manchester United is arguably second best in the world right now.
